Summary: Fox Western Classics
Comment: I am not going to go into the details on these movies as they have already been well reviewed by Joe Doherty. I just wanted to say all three movies are good with some of the best actors of this period. Having enjoyed Westerns for some time, growing up in the 50's and 60s it was a Smorgasbord at the movies and on TV. Today the Westerns are few and far between and even on cable TV there are only a couple of networks that televise them. Any fan of this genre should definitely add this three movie set to their Western collection. This set can't be found just anywhere, and not even Netflix rents these movies. This set would be a good deal at $19.99 and it was a bargain at $14.99. I highly recommend this set at Amazon for the amazing steal of $10.99, and you won't find it cheaper if you can even find it. If you have Prime Shipping you get them in a couple days and you're in for some great entertainment. Great quaility DVDS with good replayability. If you enjoyed these catch "Stalking Moon" and "Cimarron". - C. Luster

Summary: "Fox Western Classics" delivers a real bargain
Comment: Fox Western Classics offer three major, but rarely televised, westerns from the early 1950s. A real treat, and the best of the three in my opinion, is the "Garden of Evil". This is a really fun adventure/western that has Gary Cooper offering lines like "let's ride!" and this retort to Susan Hayward's comment about Richard Widmark staying behind to take on the Indians alone; "Somebody always stays and get's it done." I am not a Cooper fan but after seeing him in this film, I better understand his appeal. The source material for the disc is excellent and the widescreen color presentation of some very exotic Mexican locales is worth the price of the dvd. This film also has a musical score by Bernard Herrmann.
"Rawhide", directed by Henry Hathaway (as was Garden of Evil)features Tyrone Power and, again, Susan Hayward in a black and white western that is also quite well done. The dvd presentation is excellent.
Gregory Peck "stretches" as an actor by playing a semi-bad guy (complete with a villian's mustache) in "The Gunfighter". Another good western character study and another excellent dvd presentation.
All three films are major "A" budget projects from the 50s that are not often seen anywhere, not at revivals, not on television, and, not to my recollection on VHS tape.
A real bargain for anyone looking for a quality western dvd package.

Summary: Classic West
Comment: Three great westerns in one pack. For $14.99 this is a great deal. Each DVD has its own slim keep case, rather then a clumsy 'cardboard custom case', which actually is a great relief.
All three movies are digitally remastered, the picture and sound are good. 'Garden of Evil' comes in widescreen and color. The rest are B&W and presented in full screen. All three movies are equally entertaining with great acting. The Special Features included along with each movie is great. Another neat stuff from 20th Century Fox.
If you are a classic western fan, then go grab this one right away.
